    Poor George deserved points today.

    Yes, he punches well above his weight and the bad luck strikes again.

    Hamilton pushing hard now. It’s starting to look a bit more like a 2 stop strategy.

    Short track with traffic everywhere, it'd be harder to catch back up here then it was in Spain or France

    Watching his helmet camera channel (with radio Comms). He was asking about his fuel levels to Bono

    Was it this track that was harsh on suspension/tyres one year? They seem to be running the bumpy kerbs very heavily.

    True but Mercedes may thin its worth a roll of the dice.

    What's the average time lost for a pit stop round here does anyone know? If Hamilton was to pit, he has about 24 seconds gap to Perez

    Is it getting a bit cloudy in places


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,610 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    Radar shows it building up to the west but won't hit the track for an hour.

    Perez pits.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,694 ✭✭✭✭ctrl-alt-delete


    Perez nicks the fastest lap, can he catch Bottas?


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,752 ✭✭✭✭flazio


    Not exactly a classic this one is it?


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,366 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    So the mercs strategy is to keep going and hope max makes a mistake.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,977 ✭✭✭TheDoctor


    Think next week the tyres are all one step softer.

    Probably needed.

    Not much else they can do, Bottas needs to get the finger out Perez is catching him at 2 seconds a lap nearly.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,937 ✭✭✭Cool_CM


    Perez is flying

    It most certainly is not.

    True but it’s a very un Mercedes position to be in.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,369 ✭✭✭Rossi IRL


    Reckon it's gonna be like this for a while.

    Red Bull is just a much better car this season. Verstappen also not making many mistakes. As a team also not making mnay mistakes.

    As usual it will probably start raining half an hour after the race is finished.


  • Registered Users Posts: 511 ✭✭✭Lawlesz


    You know it's a dull race when they're talking about the possibility of rain that even the teams know isn't coming


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,366 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    So kimi has the record using number 7 on a car. A sure sign this race is not a classic.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,507 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    Crofty really shouldn't be using the word dramatic to describe this race


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,606 ✭✭✭✭skipper_G


    Feels more like an afternoon wasted than an afternoon invested


  • Moderators, Home & Garden Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 12,514 Mod ✭✭✭✭2011


    An undeserved 3rd for Bottas.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,975 ✭✭✭✭Burkie1203


    Red Bull went a few laps too.late on the 2nd stop with Perez

    I could have painted the front wall and watched it dry.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,507 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    Very comfortable race for Verstappen

    Not the most entertaining race but they can’t all be exciting over a season.
